History and Curiosities

Mentioned as early as 315 BC by Theophrastus, it was studied in modern times by Brocante in 1808.

The name comes from Greek and means "gold glue," as it was used anciently in gold soldering.

Cleopatra wore it for its calming properties.

The Incas and other ancient civilizations used it in jewellery and decorations.

It was also used as a pigment for frescoes and ceramics.

This natural stone belongs to the silicate group and its name comes from the Greek "chrysos" (gold) and "kolla" (glue), referring to its ancient use as a material for soldering gold.

Chrysocolla forms in copper-rich environments, an element that gives it its characteristic hues ranging from blue to green.

Major deposits are found in Chile, Peru and the United States, particularly in Arizona and New Mexico.
Other deposits are found in Congo, Israel, Mexico and Russia.

Since ancient times it was valued for its beauty and also used as an ornamental and symbolic stone.
